Chapter 23: Interpretation and Action
Tiangongfu No. 3.
When Lin Shuimo, who was drenched, parked her Audi TT in the parking space and got out of the car with an umbrella, several powerful middle-aged men walked out of the villa accompanied by Lin Congzheng with a smile on their faces.
Since Lin Congzheng was elected as the director of the Development Committee, almost all of the family is like this, and there is an endless stream of high-ranking officials who come to the door every day, which can be described as a real exchange without vain.
Lin Shuimo knows why.
This is not because his father's popularity is better than others, but most of the bigwig-level characters, there is basically a rule in the family, no one can come to the door at all, just in a high position, there is a lot of entertainment, and naturally they will be disgusted, so most of the time, some high-ranking officials rarely entertain guests at home, and want to visit this kind of person, but also in their own home This kind of private occasion, only identity and status are not enough, those who can come to the door are confidants, even if ordinary people have this mind, it is estimated that they will be blocked before they come to the door.
Since taking office, Lin has been the polar opposite of those high-ranking officials.
In fact, the director of the Development Committee, as the core minister of the cabinet, can even be said to be the first minister, and the power in his hands is so strong that he can be ranked at the forefront of all high-ranking officials at the governor level, and there is always a saying in the local area, that is, when it comes to the big yamen of the Development Committee, there can be a chair to do, that is, the treatment of members of the Imperial Center and even members of the decision-making bureau.
This may seem like an exaggeration, but in reality there is not much moisture.
In front of the gate of the Development Committee and in the office building, she has seen cadres at the level of deputy governor more than once carefully entertaining an ordinary chief staff member of the Development Commission with a smile on his face, and she has also seen the deputy secretary of a certain province sitting on a small horse for three or four hours, but in the end, he was released by a certain deputy director and dared not speak out.
As the leader of the Development Committee, it is conceivable how much power Lin has in politics.
As usual, Lin Congzheng's rules in the family should be much greater than others, but in fact, since Lin Congzheng took office to the present, for high-ranking officials or huge riches who want to visit him at home, as long as they can get on the stage, Lin Congzheng almost does not refuse to come, resulting in an endless stream of powerful people who come and go here every day.
In fact, when Lin Congzheng first took office, the imperial side gave several places for Director Lin to choose, including a courtyard on Dongshou Road, where several governor-level leaders in other parts lived, and there was also a villa in Wanhu Park where you could choose, and that place was inhabited by several deputy directors of the Development Committee, and it was relatively close to the Development Committee building, but Lin Congzheng didn't go anywhere, but continued to live in Tiangongfu No. 3, to some extent, this can be regarded as a signal to the outside world.
Sure enough, when the first batch of people who had the courage to ask to see Director Lin were not refused, it became more and more lively here, and looking at this posture, it seems that the current situation is far from reaching its peak.
Lin Shuimo understands his father's mentality, and even understands his grandfather's mentality, the hard life of the past has been too long and suppressed for too long, and now he suddenly gets great authority, and his father naturally subconsciously wants to show it, so he also likes to be lively and likes this kind of crowded scene.
Lin Shuimo never said anything.
But when she saw the visitor today, she couldn't help frowning.
In the past, she didn't care much about current affairs, but fortunately, she made up for some evil during this time, because she saw the middle-aged man walking beside Lin Congzheng, she instinctively felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she finally determined that this was the governor of a certain province in the northwest of the empire.
And that province is usually considered to be one of the strongholds of the Southwest faction, and the Southwest Lin family also has a lot of investment there.
Lin Shuimo became more and more unhappy in his heart, but in front of the guests, he didn't say much, just walked over and called his father.
Lin Congzheng nodded to his daughter with a smile, looked at the umbrella in Lin Shuimo's hand, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The eyes of the middle-aged man who accompanied Lin Congzheng also fell on the black umbrella in Lin Shuimo's hand at the same time, and his original enthusiastic smile also faded slightly.
Behind the middle-aged man, a relatively young fat man was still looking at Lin Shuimo, although the winter clothes were heavy, but she was soaked with her own graceful figure, and her exquisite curves were more tempting than usual, but the moment she saw the black umbrella, the squinting light in the fat man's eyes disappeared immediately, and he subconsciously lowered his head.
A black umbrella is naturally nothing.
But what makes people awe-inspiring is the pattern on the black umbrella.
Pattern of the sky and the sea.
Now in the entire Shenzhou Empire, before the royal family returns, the black umbrella engraved with the pattern of the sky and the sea can only come from the palace of the god of war.
This completely shows that Lin Shuimo has just come out of the God of War Palace.
Who knows what her relationship is with the God of War King?
"Director Lin, then this first? Tomorrow I will take Mr. Hong and hand over the specific materials, you can show them? From my personal standpoint, I hope that this project can be approved, which will benefit the country and the people, and of course, I will fully respect the opinions of the Development Committee. β
The middle-aged man beside Lin Congzheng said with a smile and stretched out his hand.
Lin Congzheng stretched out his hand and shook it with him, nodded and smiled: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I have time, and Governor Yang will come to my office to discuss in detail when the time comes." β
Governor Yang nodded with a smile and politely left.
"Dad, what project did he ask you to approve?"
It wasn't until the figure of Governor Yang and his party completely disappeared that Lin Shuimo put away his umbrella and asked in a calm tone.
"For the steel project, Governor Yang plans to build a 10-million-ton steel group in Yuhua City, with an investment of nearly 30 billion. β
Lin Congzheng didn't hide it from Lin Shuimo, he knew this daughter's temperament, and there were some things, even if he told her, she wouldn't say it.
"Steel?"
Lin Shuimo frowned, no matter how she didn't care about current affairs, her father was the director of the Development Committee, and he would take a few glances at the daily news broadcast, and in recent times, she has heard several times the Standing Committee of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau, and the speeches of the Imperial Deputy Prime Minister Chen Hualou on different occasions, all kinds of signs indicate that a new round of macro-control policies in the empire is about to be introduced, and the steel industry is also one of the industries that are regulated.
"Agreed?"
Lin Shuimo asked in a cautious tone, Chen Hualou is emphasizing the necessity of macroeconomic control, if his father gives the green light, wouldn't it be against Vice Prime Minister Chen Hualou?
"I haven't seen the plan, let's take a look tomorrow, I know what you're worried about, but macro-control is to grasp the small and enlarged, tens of millions of tons of projects, the empire will still give a certain degree of support, but Yuhua's traffic is average, it seems that there are no necessary conditions for building a 10 million ton steel group, at least there is no advantage, and outside the words, that Mr. Hong seems to be not very rich, look at what he means, said that it is an investment of 30 billion, he can contribute 10 billion, it is good, most of the rest still have to rely on the Ministry of Household and their provincial finance department to solve a part, in the rest, it is estimated that it is financing, not to mention the loss of labor and money, I'm afraid that it will be a political achievement project in the end, if this is the case, the harm will outweigh the benefits, and it will definitely not be approved, Lao Yang is also in a hurry, and he wants to go crazy if he wants to add points to a big project. β
Lin Congzheng couldn't help but shake his head, and his tone was not optimistic about this steel project.
Lin Shui Mo was thoughtful.
The affairs of the Southwest faction, she also heard some of them when she had a recent gathering of friends, and the current people in the Southwest faction are very impetuous, which is said to be because of the relationship between Lin Qingtian who made major concessions to the past at this plenary meeting.
Now Ye Nianlun has not completely taken over, but the momentum of the Wang faction has suppressed the southwest faction, and many senior officials of the southwest faction are not optimistic about the situation after the general election more than a year later, so many people plan to take the throne in advance, afraid that they will lose the environment and opportunity to take the position after the general election.
Governor Yang is just a microcosm of the Southwestern faction.
He thought about going to the big project to add points to himself at the top level, and planned to be the secretary before the big change, and the senior officials of the other southwest factions would not be too peaceful.
Movement leads to change, and for the royal family, this is also an opportunity.
Lin Shuimo was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Dad, I hope you don't approve this project, even if this project can really be approved, it can't be approved." β
"Why?"
Lin Congzheng said in a calm tone: "It can't be just because Governor Yang is a member of the southwest faction, right? β
"Governor Yang doesn't seem to be very old, it stands to reason that he still has a lot of room for growth, at least before retirement, he can stay up to the position of secretary of the provincial party committee, he is so anxious, presumably he wants more than just the secretary of the provincial party committee of a poor province, he has a higher goal, in the future, this person is likely to become the biggest opponent of the royal family, father, I know this is a state affair, but you also said that the location of their project is not good, in this case, it is better to give him a card, you have just taken the position, be cautious, no one can say anythingγ β
Lin Shuimo hesitated, gritted his teeth, and continued: "And... If you want to get more support, so that you can be elected as a state councilor next spring, or even enter the decision-making bureau in the future, become a deputy prime minister, or even a deputy prime minister of the Standing Committee, you can't approve this project, you should understand who is controlling the fate of our family now, not Mr. Chen, not Mr. Ye..."
"It's the God of War King. β
Lin Congzheng picked up Lin Shuimo's words in a calm tone: "You just went to the palace?
"Nope. β
Lin Shuimo's eyes were a little gloomy, he shook his head, looked at his father's expression that seemed to be a little disappointed, and said softly: "But he asked someone to let me bring you a word." β
"What?!"
Lin Congzheng subconsciously raised his tone, and his tone unconsciously became a little hurried.
He said he was disappointed in you, and if you don't want to retire early, you should have some points in your heart. β
Lin Shuimo hesitated, and did not choose to express Lin Xuanyuan's original words, but just said a general meaning, although it was still difficult to hear, but compared to the original words, it was already a lot more beautiful.
Lin Congzheng's face turned red suddenly, looking at his daughter's embarrassed eyes, he also knew that Lin Xuanyuan's original words would definitely be more difficult to hear than this, but at this moment, in addition to embarrassment, he was more afraid.
Lin Xuanyuan's words were not exaggerated at all, on the contrary, he knew that Lin Xuanyuan would do what he said.
If he continues to disappoint him in the next period of time, he will not be elected as a state councilor at the National Assembly next spring, but will be transferred to an idle post that can no longer be idle.
This is something that he absolutely cannot accept.
"Prepare the car, I'll go to the God of War King's Mansion to explain to the prince. β
Lin Congzheng took a deep breath and said categorically.
"Why bother?"
Lin Shuimo shook his head and looked at his father seriously: "The prince said that you don't have to go, and, Dad, I also think you don't have to go, empty explanations are far less important than actual actions, and do you think that with the prince's temperament, will you have the patience to listen to your explanation?"
